What is email?
Email (taken from the English 'electronic mail') is a means of digital communication.
written, similar to the letters and postcards of old postal mail, that takes advantage of thetechnology
internet multimedia for the deferred sending of more or less lengthy messages, with or without
attached, between two or more different interlocutors.
HISTORY OF EMAIL
The most important precursor of what we understand today as email emerged in 1962 with the
IBM 7090 computer, which allowed the interaction of differentusersfrom remote terminals, the
they could exchange messages.
However, in 1965, the MAIL service emerged, the true precursor to email, which allowed for the sending and
message reception between users of this computer.
Ray Tomlinson was the creator of the current email. He created the firstprotocolexperimental for the
information exchange between machines connected to the same network: CYPNET. He was also the one who
introduced the at sign (@) as a marker symbol to distinguish in email addresses between the
username and the name of the service.
With the arrival and widespread adoption of the Internet, obviously, email became a
a popular and everyday tool. It was first offered for free in 1971 and by 1977 it was already
the standard mechanism for information exchange worldwide in online communities.
TYPES OF EMAIL
Email generally works in the same way regardless of its
specific objectives. However, depending on the use given to it, we can talk about:

personal email addresses and use them as you see fit.

managed.
Institutional email. Those who represent the entirety of a company,
organization orinstitutionof any kind, serving as a communicative bridge between the
organization and its clientele, that is, between the inside and the outside of it.

In principle, email works in a very similar way to postal mail, which is why
which it uses as a reference for its operation. This goes from the name of things (the
messages are considered 'letters' and are often represented as envelopes; the inboxes
they call them "mailboxes", etc.) until their operation.
For its part, the latter could not be simpler: a user A sends a message to a user B in the
that tells something. If you wish, it is also possible to include some photographs, audio files, or videos.

Moments later, user B's email receives the letter and eventually reads and downloads it.photographs
on his own computer. Then, he will be able to write a response to user A, giving him back his impressions
and, if you wish, send her any attached material you consider. This process can be repeated as many times as you want, and
It does not necessarily occur in strict shifts.
PARTS OF AN EMAIL
Usually, an email consists of:
Inbox. The virtual space where received messages are stored, in an order.

Internet, email is not a good option.
You need some electronic device. In order to access the email, we must have a
